Butters John Bee Cannock reviews

Terrible in every way

If it were possible to rate this company lower than one star, I absolutely would. The level of service I received was extremely disappointing. The manager made a number of bold promises about what their business would achieve for me, yet none of these claims materialised. Communicating with them is incredibly frustrating, you’re routed through what appears to be a call centre that has no knowledge of your situation and no interest in connecting you with the local branch.

This company is a joke

This company is a joke! I don't know how it keeps going. Once my 12 month rental contract for an apartment was coming to its end BJB emailed me asking if I wanted to stay on, and I agreed, even though the rent increased slightly. I told them I needed a letter off them addressed to both myself and my wife showing the new rent. Still no letter despite at least 8 emails, plus a couple of phone calls requesting a letter. I managed to contact the landlady and even she couldn't get any sensible response from them. And don't get me started on the lack of repairs. BJB are incredibly incompetent, don't trust them.

I would recommend to anyone selling, letting or buying

I would like to thank Kathy at Winsford Butters John Bee for all of her help and expertise when selling my property. The team at the Winsford branch consistently kept me informed about the viewers feedback and assured me that nothing was too much trouble. Their professionalism and reliability kept me reassured throughout the whole process. I have all the confidence to recommend them to my friends, family and anyone else considering using Butters John Bee. Thanks again!

VERY POOR AT ALL LEVELS I don't think…

VERY POOR AT ALL LEVELS I don't think there are enough words to say how appallingly they treat landlords and tenants alike. I have complained many times over the last 4 years and each time I have been assured of improvements at all levels, but basically I am paying a lot of money to BJB every month and I do not receive the service from them. I have to check when gas certs, EICR and EPC are due and when I send information to them it is not updated on their system. DO NOT USE THEM IF YOU WANT A MANAGEMENT TEAM it's non existent. I have put a date in for experience, but that is when I decided to get rid of them and stop paying for doing the job I'm doing myself. Having read all the other reviews it would appear we are not the only ones with this dreadful experience 1 star is 1 too many

After a very bad experience with another local agent we decided to use butters john bee to sell our property with purely down to family members talking so highly of them as a company. Amy and Andy were fantastic from day one, honesty from the start and throughout which we did not get with the other agents, dealt with any queries quickly and efficiently for us and always friendly. Thank you both.

Diabolical

Just a really awful experience. High turnover of staff. Often it took 6 + weeks to get a reply to a email after relentless chasing. We were paying a full management fee as we were living overseas, so this was a nightmare and very stressful. We finally made contact with the tenant and we were so shocked to see the state of the property. Black damp everywhere and the tenant had made a formal complaint to the council. So grateful not be working with this agent anymore. Please do your research - we have another property and the agent is amazing.

Butters John Bee Crewe

Couldn't have dealt with a better team. Both Corrie and Michael have been amazing. Corrie was so welcoming when I went to view my property, she made me feel very welcome and was very friendly and made lots of conversation. Michael has been a pleasure to deal with, he has always held great conversation when on the phone and has been very helpful. Happy to have used a great company with a great team.

Brilliant Service from BJB Crewe

Really grateful to Sam in BJB Crewe office. Incredibly professional, knowledgeable, patient and have gone out of his way to help with everything and even arranged a viewing late in the day to suit my restricted availability. All my phone calls and email queries have been dealt with quickly and efficiently. Just exchanged on 2 BTL properties in central Crewe and hope to secure more in the future. Adrian and Marcin in the branch has also been at hand to help me. Felt very welcome when I first visited the Crewe office - friendly staff - made such an impact to me esp. after being on the road for 4 hours!! Highly recommend Sam and his colleagues in BJB Crewe Sales, Letting and Mortgage Broker. Thank you Sam for everything and please keep me on your mail lists of new listings.

Guilt Tripping [and terrible service]

Received a letter in the post trying to guilt trip us into selling our home so a family of adults can move in? We have a child living here, so I don't see how adults are a priority. Never dealt with BJB before and certainly won't after reading this! Besides, the family want a detached house and most houses around the target areas are semi-detached/terraces, so clearly BJB don't know the area too well.Update: spoke with the brach over the phone to find out why it's acceptable to be posted this letter, and we were greeted by rude, condesending staff. Terrible service. Maybe BJB should consider the residents that are receiving their letters as they don't know their personal circumstances.

I would not recommend Butters John Bee - Northwich Estate agents they ignore your messages, zero communication, would not add or amend any pictures once submitted, failed to represent clients who came to view the property 343 Manchester Road twice, no sales contract was provided, we agreed 1.5% verbally, they took advantage and took 1.83% still waiting for a call back to discuss.

Excellent service from start to finish

This is the third time I've used Butters John Bee and like both previous occasions, Gary and Charlotte and the team have been responsive, helpful, friendly and always ensured the process went as smoothly as possible. I've purchased and sold via BJB, and would recommend them to anyone.

I am writing say how much I appreciate the service received from Michael ferris lettings manager in congleton. As a landlord it is good to know Michael has a very proactive approach to finding a new tenant and this means I have not had any voids. I have a tenant presently but will have no hesitation calling Michael at butters to the advertise once the tenant gives notice. Thank you Michael

I have been dealing with Kylie Palin for the recent purchase of my property. Everything was dealt with in a professional manner and I was kept up to date on a regular basis regarding the process of the sale both by phone and email. Anything I requested was dealt with promptly. I felt I was always treated with respect and in a friendly manner.

Having been searching for a property in a different area as a priority, we decided to open our search up to Cannock to see if this area could be an option for our search. Adam was incredibly helpful and informative and put together an accompanied tour of a handful of different houses in the area to assist us with getting a feel for what was on offer. Adam carefully selected the properties he showed us and we really liked some of the options. It was really refreshing to have Adam accompany us on the tour, as the majority of the viewings we had gone on with other agents were direct with the vendor which was very impersonal and it really put us at ease having an agent come with us on the tour. The whole experience was fun, relaxed and Adam genuinely contributed to a lovely afternoon. We did find a property in our preferred location with a different agent in the end, but we would have been more than happy to agree an offer through Adam and BJB had the circumstances been different and we would have had absolute faith in them as an agency. Everyone I spoke to in the Cannock office was warm, friendly and genuine. I would highly recommend the team at BJB in Cannock.

We are first time sellers, so wasn't sure what to expect from an estate agent, but I can guarantee that not a single viewing in 6 months is normal. We were waiting for our for sale sign for 4 months. No floor plan was done for our property. Had 2 viewings that "cancelled", and we were only informed moments before they were due to arrive. We recieved no communication from them about what they were actually doing to sell our house, that is actually worth the cost of their service, apart from an occasional unexplained analytics report. Was promised a negotiator to come out but that didn't happen. I can not believe how much time we wasted using this estate agent, the level of incompetency is madness. When we finally were able to terminate the contract, they did nothing to correct the situation, or even ask any questions about why we wanted to leave. Unbothered. Do not get stuck in a contract with this agent because they will do NOTHING to sell your house.

As a family we would highly recommend Butters John Bee in Sandbach. We have been really impressed with the customer service we received especially from Reuben Gittings. He couldn’t doEnough for us, making sure all the questions we had were answered and arranging several viewings for us. Reuben was really friendly and approachable and made our experience with Butters John Bee easy and enjoyable right down until we agreed a sale.

BJB have been extremely reliable and attentive throughout the letting of my property. All expectations were met. Everything happened according to the timeline I was promised and a suitable tenant was found within a day of the property being put in their hands.I will be using them for all future lettings. Special thanks to Lucy at BJB Hanley who has answered all my questions and kept me fully updated throughout.

Wolverhampton branch

We arranged to view a property with the Wolverhampton branch and was shown around by Luke. We then submitted the application for the property and was kept informed throughout the process. Elisha was very polite (as was Luke) at all times, kept us informed and also on the next steps. Nothing was too much trouble even with me phoning them a lot with my worries lol Will definitely recommend

If you can avoid renting through BJB

If you can avoid renting through BJB, then do so. The worst company I have ever known for ‘customer service’! I reported a faulty shower and it took over 10 telephone calls & 12 months to get fixed. Then I had a problem with the gas hob as two burners had stopped working….11 months later and only after I reported a gas leak did they finally arrange for an electrician to come out and replace it. Most recently, my sink has started leaking and flooded my kitchen and the shower rail no longer keeps the shower head in place….reported 5 months ago and again when they advised my rent was going up, but still nothing! If I could give zero stars I would have. BJB - up your game and either sack the ‘property managers’ that don’t manage properties or train them in customer service and best practice!
